This interview/discussion with Mary Lovelace O'Neal is from the Rehistoricizing project. "The goal for this project is to complete the digital and written
gathering of exclusively 'first voice' biographical material of 23 Women
Artists and Artists of Color active in the San Francisco Bay Area from
the 1950’s to the late 1960’s, when their histories were undervalued
because of public and personal hegemonic social and aesthetic scrutiny.
The archive will be housed at the Anne Bremer Memorial Library, San
Francisco Art Institute."
